CFL 2013 Season Thread

[zamler]

The Lions have done an atrocious job of adjusting, well they haven't at all just let Sask run the same plays over and over again.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Stamps should beat the Riders pretty easily, but just because they should doesn't mean they will.

[Żoso]

See you next week Calgary.

[GirlySports]

That looked promising til that last pass.

someone should have kicked it.

[zamler]

Wow the Lions completely chocked in the 2nd half.

[Flame12]

Hope no tickets go to Riders fans

[OzSome]

What the heck is that play??? That used to work especially in NCAA but not on professional league for the past few years. I can't believe the Lions just crumbled on the 2nd half. We might see some changes in BC after this season.

have never seen a team hold and go offside that much not get penalties get called against them.... not surprising

Dont worry there is still probably 8000 available and lots of us already picked up the great seats your season ticketholders didnt take playoff seats for.

Plenty of room for Green in the Stands. Best game of the year coming up whether its plus 10 or Minus 20.

[dsavillian]

I love this game.

I think the stamps have a massive edge next week but I hope the riders can keep it exciting!

I know what you mean. The lions second last drive had holding every play that BC wasnt called on. It led to their first down. In the CFL holding has to be blatent and you need to be past the neutral zone for it to be called offside. (By implementation not by rule). Nothing different in this game.

Also for offside you only need to be onside when the center begins to move the ball backwards so while you might think they are offside they were onside when the ball began to move. Slow mo it and watch the centers hands I was amazed how that changed my thinking on CFL offsides.

[Brannigans Law]

The circle jerk at RF begins lol. Congrats, you beat a 3rd place team at home, and only barely.

[moon]

LOL @ the CFL.

Take the year off after being tired of the horsecrap reffing always helping the same team (now TO as well) think maybe I should turn in for the play-offs since I did love the CFL so much previously only to see more BS reffing to help the Priders out.

Did my best to get back into what used to be an awesome league but seeing the pathetic reffing and scumbag Prider fans/players I think I will be done with this league.

Sad as it used to be such an entertaining game to follow and especially attend.

[Red Potato Standing By]

At least it sets up an excuse if the stamps lose, just blame the refs and the league cause they want the riders to win...LOL

[Żoso]

damn beer.. LOL

I look forward to next weekend's match up. Durant has sparked some of his teammates with his outstanding display of heart tonight and I'm sure that will carry over into next weekend.

Lol, it'll be 8-10 thousand Riders fans. For some reason this stupid city buys less tickets to playoff games than regular season games, historically This year would have been a little higher, onlhy do to our abysmal, embarrassing attendance. I bet you, we would have had about 29-30k without the Riders.

Now Riders fans will buy the remaining 7 thousand tickets, plus they'll buy a bunch of tickets on kijiji/ebay from Stamps fans who know they can make a buck rather than show up to cheer on their team in their only home playoff game.

Even with all the favorable refereeing the Priders get, especially at that dump they call home. They still have only won three Championships in over one hundred years in an eight team league............absolutely pathetic!!! They definitely have the most fitting name...........Roughriders, no #### they have had a rough ride.

Come on, you have been complaing about reffing for at least 5 years on at least two websites without ever putting up any shread of evidence that reffing is biased. You suffer from confirmation bias against a team you hate and against the one who just beat the stamps in the grey cup.

There is no conspiricy, just inconsistant reffing which affects all teams equally.

See that is kinda the argument against the so called league wanting the riders to win, because if it was true they would have more then 3.

I have pointed out specific examples many times before and don't feel like getting into it again as Prider fans will just bury their head in the sand and ignore it anyways.

I think it mainly is inconsistent reffing, although the league allowing the Priders receivers to push off helps the refs continue to make those BS PI calls to save the Priders, but when you see some of the blatant calls like the Cates fumble a few years ago where the league looks at a clear fumble and calls it good to help the Priders out hard to call that incompetence and seeing the Priders always getting the vast majority of bad calls in their favor is questionable as well. The PI and two roughing calls were jokes in the game today and large reasons for the Priders to win.
